Through square foot gardening, medicinal herb gardening, alternative energy, becoming debt free, being thrifty, food storage, and small livestock we plan to survive retirement without working until we drop dead!!

Update of the garden:

Swiss chard is up and growing nicely as well as 2 kinds of kale, broccoli ~ the purple sprouting didn't do well but I will plant more ~ and then the lettuce.

There's new leaves on the strawberries so the weather didn't damage them. We didn't get the land up north prepared for the fruit trees so we have them planted temporarily in buckets. This weekend we hope to make some headway up there. We have terracing in mind.

The trailer will get a good cleaning and we'll take some tools up for the storage shed. Then we'll do some fishing!
